To measure the economy’s well-being, you must calculate the nation’s GDP. GDP-Gross Domestic Product, equals the total value of all final goods and services produced in an economy. To stabilize the economy, policymakers must strive for high employment, steady growth, and stable prices. Another key to a higher GDP is Technology. Better Technology = for more goods generated in shorter amount of time with less materials.

Providing Public Goods Public Good- a shared good or service for which it would be inefficient or impractical (1) to make consumers pay individually and (2) to exclude unwilling participants. –Ex. Roads and Dams Free Rider- Someone who would not choose to pay for a certain good or service, but would get the benefits of it anyway if it were provided as a public good.  Example- Fire protection for your neighbor’s house

Side effects of an economy are called Externalities. Two types- positive externality and negative externality Positive- Private homeowner buys house and fixes it up from eye-sore to ready to buy. Negative- Next-door neighbor takes up the accordion and hosts Friday night polka parties. However, you hate polka music.
